the reason that president obama claims, if you like your health care plan, you can keep it, is that within the health care bi bill, there actual ily is a grandfather clause. and the first two paragraphs of that grandfather clause actually would work. the problem is those first two paragraphs or sections are followed by an evisceration of the grandfather clause. so basic what will you have is you have a phony grandfather clause contained within the patient protection and affordable care act. well, my piece of legislation, the "if you like your health plan you can keep it act," actually is a real grandfather clause, and it uses president obama's exact language. so all my bill does is just simply strikes the phony grandfather clause and it inserts basically the exact same language that was there although we remove those exceptions, those mandates. in other words, we eviscerate the evisceration of the grandfather clause. so i'm here today to announce that i've filed that bill. we have at least 35 republican cosponsors of the bill. i know the house is moving a similar piece of legislation. i kn

for a longer period of time and more freedom of adjustment, but the obama administration filled out such a way to make it that much harder, if not basically impossible to do. the owe baum a hea -- obama's administrations rules would have made it impossible for an insurer could to change the firms that it uses to manage and add minister the plan which need nt affect coverage. for those ludicrous restrictions were eliminated but enough rules remain that it's near impossible to maintain a grandfathered health insurance policy. very tragic. promises made were not kept. nd also had some folks tell me that, gee, it seems disrespectful for republicans to president lk about obama without mentioning the word president. seems disrespectful. and so, mr. speaker, i certainly don't mean any ill-will any time i ave used the shorthand and tried to use president obama, but i also hope that my friends probably every one of the democrats in this body and probably all of the republicans in this body that have referred to anything that happened in the bush administration or used the shorthand rendition

off their current plan. these problems can't be fixed through a technical surge or tech surge, and they are not just a glitch in someone's health care coverage or job. not a week goes by that i don't hear examples from the people i represent in michigan and job creators about the increasing costs and how obama care is making it harder for businesses to invest, grow, and hire people. just last month, meridian public schools in my district announced it would be cutting the schedules of hourly workers to fewer than 30 hours per week as a result of obama care. and this month, the detroit free press reported that at least 146,000 michiganens have received cancellation notices from their current health program due to obama care. based on the little add information the administration has disclosed, more have cancelled than enrolled in the exchanges. the widespread acknowledgments the health care exchanges was not tested months in advance is cause for concern. the concern doesn't stop there. the treasury inspector g
